These Kota Bahru Fisherman definitely saw something.
Several ground witnesses claim they saw Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 - CNN.com
The airport there closes at midnight or remains open for late departures. Also the VOR VKB is a very busy airway intersection and a lot of traffic very high overhead. Maybe our reported Radar hits from Thailand and Malaysia saw the aircraft flying towards KOTA BAHRU, and followed some other target after VKB.
Obviously the description "lights like coconuts"means the aircraft landing lights were on. So it was below 10000 feet. Was it trying to land at WMKC. Maybe our Flightradar24 friends can show what was flying through and above VKB around 0130am?
